Why Boerum Hill Has a Bats Problem
Boerum Hill's tree-lined streets and proximity to the Gowanus Canal create an environment where bats often seek refuge in the attics, chimneys, and eaves of the neighborhood's iconic 19th-century brownstones and townhouses. The area's mix of single-family homes and converted multi-unit buildings near Atlantic Avenue and Smith Street requires specialized bat exclusion techniques that respect the architectural heritage of this historic Brooklyn neighborhood.
Why Choose Us for Bat Removal & Exclusion in Boerum Hill
Bat removal is strictly regulated under New York State law — bats may not be killed, and removal must use exclusion methods during approved windows outside maternity season (June–mid-August). Our NYS DEC licensed technicians inspect your home or building for all entry points, paying particular attention to ridge caps, gable vents, soffit gaps, and chimney flashing where bats typically enter. We install one-way exclusion devices over primary entry points during the legal exclusion window, allowing bats to exit but not re-enter, then return to seal all openings permanently with caulk, hardware cloth, and foam once bats have vacated. Our 30-day guarantee covers any bat re-entry through areas we treated.

Bat Removal & Exclusion in Boerum Hill — FAQs
How much does bat removal cost in Boerum Hill?▾
Bat removal and exclusion services in Boerum Hill typically range from $900 to $2,500, depending on the size of the colony, number of entry points, and the complexity of your building's structure. Historic brownstones may require additional care to preserve architectural details. We provide free inspections and detailed estimates before beginning any work.
Are bats common in Boerum Hill brownstones?▾
Yes, bats are frequently found in Boerum Hill's historic brownstones and townhouses. These older buildings often have small gaps in rooflines, chimneys, and ventilation systems that provide ideal entry points. Bats are attracted to the quiet attic spaces and can enter through openings as small as 3/8 of an inch.
Is bat removal humane and legal in Brooklyn?▾
Absolutely. Bats are protected in New York State, and we follow all legal requirements for humane bat exclusion. We never harm or relocate bats; instead, we use one-way exclusion devices that allow bats to leave naturally but prevent re-entry. All work is performed outside of maternity season (June-July) to ensure no young bats are trapped inside.
How long does the bat exclusion process take?▾
The complete bat exclusion process typically takes 2-4 weeks in Boerum Hill homes. After our initial inspection, we seal all potential entry points except the primary exits, install one-way exclusion devices, and monitor to ensure all bats have left. Once we confirm the bats are gone, we seal the final entry points and provide cleanup services if needed, including attic decontamination and insulation replacement.
